Sophia Rosing was banned from the University of Kentucky campus after the incident

A college student who went on a drunken tirade using the n-word 200 times will now head to jail for a year.

Sophia Rosing, a former student at the University of Kentucky, became infamous in 2022 for her rant that was captured on video and shared on social media. In the video, Rosing was caught using the slur at a fellow student and assaulting her.

Rosing previously pleaded guilty to four counts of fourth-degree assault and other charges. When she entered her plea, she apologized to fellow student Kylah Spring and members of the Black community.

This week, a judge in Kentucky sentenced Rosing to 12 months in custody and 100 hours of community service, according to Lex 18.

In the infamous video Spring said that Rosing struck her numerous times and kicked her in the stomach. As Spring is explaining what happened to her, Rosing can be heard yelling at her in the background, calling the Black student the n-word and a “b****” throughout the footage.

    Watch her get out in a year and be invited to go on the Republican lecture circuit to talk about how woke politics is ruining American college campuses.

    This isn’t a joke, I seriously think this will happen.

      The woke liberals are trying to cancel her for the innocent act of being a racist asshole who assaulted a black woman! They’re out of control!

      It’s hard not to just be blunt here. She’s a white girl. Sentencing guidelines and police protocols are different for people matching that description. It’s a known, researched phenomenon.

      It’s not unreasonable to say that the police work for non-impoverished, non-overweight white women. It’s noticeable in how quick white women are to call the police and think the police will help with a problem.

      Statistically, you are roughly about 1000% more likely to experience police violence if you are not a white woman.

    You know they say that drinking alcohol kind of reveals who you are inside. Well we now know who she really is. The assault confirms that.

      Eh. Maybe a glass or two. At this level, you’re just fishing around for violent thrills.

      She got expelled, has no degree, and will be found out for life when applying for work. Jail time is the least of her concerns.

    Interesting that the Independent made sure to mention that this student was drunk not once, but twice, as if that were an excuse.

    No one says that word when drunk if they wouldn’t be willing to say it out loud in certain company.

      Her being drunk is relevant to reporting the truth. They’re not excusing her actions but giving context. As you pointed out, she may never have said these slurs in her open life, but she was probably thinking them and alcohol greased the wheels on her racism.

      This is from the Romanian penal code so it may be inaccurate for other countries. I am also not qualified to do anything related to law

      If you are under the effects of a substance, you can be considered not breaking the law in some conditions

        In the US, the penalties can be higher if you’re drunk and commit a crime. Being drunk is in and of itself a crime in the US (public intoxication) so you at least get that as an additional charge.

    It’s like 4 minutes of straight up repeating the n-word. Besides her racism, how fucked up she was to vomit out that long of a manifesto?

      Maybe it’s like coprolalia, only IRL I’ve only met people inserting “бля епты” instead of pauses, sometimes f-words.

        Да даже пусть она использовала н-ворд как междометие перед каждым словом, либо она стремилась к достижению мирового рекорда, либо она не фильтровала базар зачитывая целый получасовой спич. Я не вижу как она могла кидать предъявы и накинуть 200 таких слов в процессе. В любом случае, говно она а не человек и я её сорт на вкус определять не вызвусь.
